Abstract
Lateral guidance transportation systems include at least one route made up of carrier elements and lateral guidance elements, on which at least one transportation vehicle is guided as the main vehicle, which has device(s) for automatically moving along the route, and to which energy is transmitted by a primary circuit having a contact wire arranged along the route, or in a contactless manner. The main vehicle includes a lifting platform that is able to be driven by a drive, especially, for example, an electric motor or a geared motor, and on which there is at least one satellite vehicle that is also includes a drive, such as, for example, an electric motor or a geared motor, for automatically moving along an additional route, and which is arranged for transporting goods. The route includes a satellite route section for the positioning and parking of the satellite vehicle. The satellite route section is truly alignable, by positioning of the main vehicle along its route, on satellite routes arranged transversely to the latter, these satellite routes being arranged on shelves. Satellite route sections and satellite routes include primary conductors which are supplied with energy in a contactless manner from the main vehicle.

15. A lateral guidance transportation system, comprising:
-
at least one route including carrier elements and lateral guidance elements; and
at least one transportation vehicle arranged as a main vehicle and including a device adapted to automatically move the transportation vehicle along the route, energy transferred to the transportation vehicle one of (a) by a primary circuit having a contact wire arranged along the route and (b) in a contactless manner, the transportation vehicle including a lifting platform driven by a drive, the transportation vehicle including at least one satellite vehicle including a drive automatically movable along an additional route and adapted to transport goods;
wherein the route includes a satellite route section for positioning and parking of the satellite vehicle;
wherein the satellite route section is alignable by positioning the main vehicle on satellite routes arranged transversely to a main vehicle route, the satellite routes arranged on shelves; and
wherein the satellite route section and the satellite routs include primary conductors supplied with energy in a contactless manner from the main vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
